<p>With the intension that most of the people on this thread attend MIT, I am asking the following question:</p>
<p>1) How many applicants does the GRADUATE dept. of Nuclear Engineering at MIT receive each year? </p>
<p>2) And what is the acceptance rate?</p>
<p>I did ask this question in the Graduate thread but didn't get any satisfying answer. May be you guys know it. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>If the graduate side of 22 is anything like the undergrad side, the department is small enough to actually give personal attention to prospectives. You might get a good answer and some advice by looking up the faculty and finding one who's research interests you and starting a dialog.</p>
<p>I looked for an answer to your question, but the only information I could really find was for the EECS department (course 6). I would suggest contacting the department directly with your question.</p>
<p>According to Petersons.com:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>108 applicants</p></li>
<li><p>41%</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I have no idea what the acceptance rate is for MIT undergrads vs. non-MIT undergrads. That makes a big difference in some departments. I also have no idea what it is for master's vs. PhD - Peterson's lumps them together.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot jessiehl. That seems about right...</p>
<p>Thanks for posting that link.</p>
